While his son Jaden is making headlines for becoming the face of Louie Vuitton’s female line, Will Smith is speaking out now about his feelings on being killed off in the upcoming film ‘Independence Day: Resurgence”.
It was previously reported that Will would not return to reprise his role as Capt. Steve Hiller in the highly anticipated sequel which will arrive this summer. Unconfirmed reports suggested that him not returning was due to issues with money as Will allegedly had very high salary demands which 20th Century Fox were not willing to oblige. Again, all this was unconfirmed hearsay.
Well now Will is speaking out and says that the reason he didn’t return was due to scheduling and says that he is very sad to hear that his character was killed off in the film. Via Yahoo Movies:
There’s a chance he’ll return for a pair of Bad Boys sequels, but he made the conscious decision to step aside for the upcoming follow-up to Independence Day, the smash hit alien-invasion flick that made him a global superstar when it premiered in 1996. (An official site for the sequel explains Smith’s absence by noting that his character, Steven HIller, was killed in a plane crash.)
“I was working on Suicide Squad during that time,” he said, referring to the film’s production. “[Independence Day director] Roland [Emmerich] and I had talked about it. The trailer looks really cool. I’m going to be sitting around with tears in my eyes when that one comes out… It was terrible when I found out my character died.”
The new film will focus on Will’s characters son, who is being played by actor Jessie T. Usher. In case you missed the trailer which also features Vivica A. Fox returning to reprise her role, check it out below.
